The newly appointed vice-chancellor of the Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello,makes her way to the university’s main campus in Ojo to officially assume duty.
Earlier reports indicated that the New Vc was to resume on Wednesday, September 22, when the 30-day extension of tenure granted the acting vice-chancellor, Oyedamola Oke, ends.
But the VC confirmed to the media that the letter of her appointment indicated that her resumption date was supposed to be Friday, September 17.
“My letter indicated September 17. But of course, I just got it on the same day, so I couldn’t resume on Friday. So, definitely, today is for resumption,” Olatunji-Bello said.
Meanwhile, the professor was welcomed to the university by many people amidst songs and dances.

The centre’s coordinator, Ademola Adekoya, said the university was eager to start a new phase of excellence.
“This morning, the Prof. of Physiology makes a gallant entry into the scenic main campus of the university, no longer as Director, LASUDA, but as the Vice Chancellor of the 37-year old institution.”
Meanwhile, as soon as she was led into the office by the staff and students, a prayer session was held.
The new VC is the area pastor in charge of the Testimony Chapel, under Lagos Province 1 of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), in Lagos.
